"How do I Install Gentoo Using a Stage1 or Stage2 Tarball?" -->

"Now you can continue with Configuring the Kernel."

BUG: After running ./bootstrap.sh, /etc/locale.gen is gone. Before doing emerge -e, it should be recreated... So the next step shouldn't be to 7. Configuring the Kernel, but 6.b. Configuring Portage/Optional: glibc Locales


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
All locales are generated after emerge -e

Expected Results:  
Only the locales I put in deleted locale.gen should be created

you're performing a stage 1 install. as stated in the documentation, stage1 installs are not supported, precisely because things like this happen. there's no need for one; please use a stage3 tarball. also, even if the file was deleted, all you need to do is create a new one yourself.
